Update

So... as I was watching the live blogs of Apple's "Let's Rock" event this afternoon, I realized that, while I would love to blog on a daily basis, I lack both the time and the motivation to do so. This isn't to say that there will never be another blog entry here - if I have something valuable to post and the time to write it, I certainly will. However, with a full class load, working part time, and maintaining a house this year, my time seems entirely sapped by my day to day activities. On top of this, about 95% of the things I think to write about are variations on other bloggers' posts, and considering blogging is what some of these people do for a living, I generally feel that they cover topics better than I can with the limited amount of time I once had to write this blog.. so there's not a whole lot of motivation to be the 100th blogger to tell you about the new iPod nanos, touches, classic, etc.

Hopefully this blog was enjoyable for those who read it, and if I find the time and/or topics I feel the need to write about, this will be the place I go. Just file techtelic into the back of your RSS reader, and hopefully there will be a time where this blog will continue.

Thanks for reading!

My Other Blog

I like to share interesting stuff I find online with friends and family and usually do so by email.  This works for most items because certain things pertain to certain people where others probably wouldn't be the least bit interested.  However, there are other things that I feel like sending out a mass email about, but considering I highly dislike receiving mass emails myself, it would be rather hypocritical for me to send out mass emails to others.  Tonight, I found a really interesting article that I wanted to share with everyone, so I'm starting a blog just for my random thoughts and tidbits I find online.

Hiatus

Well, the past week has been filled with midterm exams and essays and the next week is spring break, so as of 6:00 AM tomorrow morning I'll be off to Cancun for a nice week of good times with the family.  I'll be back and posting about a few things I've checked out recently as soon as I get back, but for now I need to get packing and get some sleep!

In the meantime, feel free to check out a couple things I'll be writing on upon my return:

A New Smart GPS

and The Best Laptop Case I've Ever Used

I'll be back soon!

Techtelic

Hello, and welcome to a blog that will hopefully soon be full of random useful technology reviews, tips, rants, and whatever else I think of.  

The name of the blog took a while for me to come up with, but I think I like it.  Techtelic.  Tech- well tech is an overused word, short for technology.  I don't care much for that part.  Telic, on the other hand, is an obscure but extremely cool  adjective meaning tending toward a goal or expressing purpose.  The goal of this blog is to give me a place to spew out my random thoughts on tech - so the name fits.

A bit about me:

My name is Mark Mitchell and I'm currently a student studying Informatics and Entrepreneurship at Indiana University.  I work at a Mac repair shop and have a passion for anything running at 60Hz (for the less nerdy out there - that's just about anything that runs on electricity).  I'll probably write about audio and video components, software I use, cool things companies are doing, apple, and anything you can plug into a wall that is useful or cool.

That's it for now.
